This song is written about a fellow song writer.

lyrics

She was drinking
She was driving
whiskey in her beer
a voice just like an angel
yeah she left us all in tears
I was trying to sing along
to a song I knew so well
I bet even old Guy Clark would likely fall under her spell

And if you don't like it leave it
go on back to your warm bed
plenty more just like you
ain't no pistol to your head

We were sitting in the motel
watching baseball on tv
smoking out the window
singing racing in the streets
she looked over at me
say now don't you feel so low
this won't be my last record
I've got plenty more to go

And if you don't like it leave it
go on back to your warm bed
plenty more just like you
ain't no pistol to your head

Well I bet she's rolling somewhere
in her brand new chevrolet
saying she ain't going nowhere
she's just leaving

And if you don't like it leave it
go on back to your warm bed
plenty more just like you
ain't no pistol to your head
